As the Vice President, Total Rewards, you will serve as a key advisor to the Chief People Officer, Executive Leadership Team, and Board of Directors, shaping how App Folio invests in and retains top talent. App Folio has a strong Total Rewards strategy in place — your job is to evolve it: anticipating shifts in the market, the business, and our talent strategy, and refining the strategy year over year so it stays ahead of where the company is headed rather than reacting after the fact.

You’ll ensure Total Rewards is tightly aligned to our broader talent strategy, serve as a lead architect for 3-Year Plan inputs, and bring deep analytical rigor to keep the function ahead of business needs. We’re looking for a leader who builds trust through preparation and partnership — someone who brings stakeholders along early, backs recommendations with clear data and financial modeling, and translates complexity into decisions the business can act on with confidence.

• Evolve Total Rewards for the Future of Work:
  Stay at the forefront of how AI is reshaping work and roles - what work humans do, which skills and capabilities become more valuable, and how roles should be structured, valued, and rewarded. Evolve our compensation, equity, benefits, and career frameworks accordingly, including how we recognize and reward high-impact individual contributors in roles where human judgment, critical thinking, and learning agility are increasingly critical.
  
  Translate this into clear annual priorities, programs, and measurable outcomes.
• Partner on Executive Compensation & Board Governance:
  Serve as a strategic partner and co-pilot on executive compensation strategy, working closely alongside the Total Rewards leader who holds the primary Compensation Committee and Board relationship — shaping strategy and materials together, appearing jointly in Committee and Board settings as needed, and helping that leader continue to grow the depth and reach of that seat.
• Architect the Benefits Strategy:
  Own a multi-year benefits roadmap — plan design, funding strategy (including evaluating self-funded models), wellness programming, and employee experience — grounded in a structured analytical framework.
• Ensure Pay Equity & Governance Excellence:
  Lead annual pay equity analyses and build scalable, compliant governance across all Total Rewards programs.
• Enable Leaders & Empower App Folians:
  Equip leaders with the tools and confidence to make sound pay decisions and hold transparent conversations, simplifying complex program design into clear, engaging communication that builds trust across the company.
• Build and Develop a High-Performing Team:
  Lead and develop a high-performing team spanning Compensation, Benefits, and Executive & Equity Compensation, including coaching senior leaders to own high-visibility relationships with the Compensation Committee and Board. Embed strong Total Rewards operations across the team, with clear processes, governance, data, and operating rhythms that enable the function to execute with rigor and scale.
